The global titans of corporate wokeness have sided with the mob. But virtue-signaling isn’t going to stop their stores being looted, and isn’t going to improve the lives of their sweatshop laborers.

In the intersectional hellscape that is the modern age, corporations can no longer just sell their goods to the masses. Instead, they must sell an image of woke piety. Gillette can’t just sell razors, they must also chide their male customers into confronting “toxic masculinity.” Ben and Jerry no longer sell ice cream, they sell anti-Trump #Resistance.

Nike is a pioneer in this area, ever since it embraced kneeling NFL quarterback Colin Kaerpernick’s brand of ethno-narcissism and grievance politics. As such, the brand with the swoosh didn’t miss a beat when protesters took to the streets this week after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. ...

Nike could come out with custom-designed rioting sneakers, daubed with Black Lives Matter slogans and stitched with the Antifa flag, and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference. That’s because corporate wokeness is a form of performance art, designed to appeal to guilt-ridden white liberals. At the end of the day, Woke Capitalism is still Capitalism, and they’re who buy its products. ...

While Nike has appointed itself arbiter of social justice in America, it’s still a corporate tyrant abroad. The company and its ilk couldn’t give a crap about the third-worlders who stitch its sneakers.

Just ask the 500 Cambodian workers who were hospitalized in 2017 at factories supplying Nike, Puma, Asics, and VF Corporation. In one three-day period at these plants, some 360 workers collapsed on the job. None of these factories pay the Cambodian ‘living wage’ of $370 per month – or nearly enough to buy a pair of Nike Adapt BB 2.0 basketball shoes.

On its face, this campaign seemed like a huge gamble on Nike’s part—and it further looked to be a gamble that paid off when share prices soared. But, as a searching New York Times investigative report makes clear, the corporation in fact went through a series of behind-the-scenes discussions and even considered dropping Kaepernick altogether, nervous—terrified, more likely—that it would face mass boycotts from consumers. When it became clear that the NFL supporters—largely white, male, and older—were outnumbered by the corporation’s brand loyalists—more diverse and younger—Nike went ahead and now even claims that it inaugurated the campaign because it believes that Kaepernick “is one of the most inspirational athletes of his generation.”

And the fact that the campaign is called "Believe in Something" reinforces the idea that leftist religion is indeed a replacement for their lost Christianity.

When will your book be ready @Patrick?

Maybe by the end of this year.

It's really just a collection of thoughts about everything that I'm trying to organize and summarize.

I doubt it will be on the NY Times best seller's list regardless of the number of copies sold.

Modified Seinfeld Episode Explains:

Lol Seinfeld was so clairvoyant it's insane that we're living in leftoid clown world now out of an episode. Next the one where George is trying to befriend the black exterminator..

How insane is it that the Russian propaganda outlet whose sole responsibility is to sow divisions in America merely has to point out true shit we are all thinking anyways?

LOL! A Russian news outlet that is calling USA to task for being leftist and Communist.

How the screw turns.

The corrupt progressives have made Russian propaganda look like the soul of sanity. Russia is undermining us with sanity and old fashioned American values long gone?

Getting rid of nations, stable gender, the family, Western culture and (why not?) Christianity

That is why the Woke Syndicate does not call out China for its lack of diversity (ie., 94% ethnic Han) and how it treats its minority population.

To them, the ChiComs are the way with their social credit score system and left wing authoritarian shenanigans.

Here is how the Woke Syndicate works. Another article says Liberty Woodley wrote inflammatory comments about 2 minorities because she was being bullied.

Anyhow I believe there was enough pressure on University of Florida to deny Woodley admission to the university.

The ONLY Jewish Group out of the many ethnic special interest groups receiving money from Rockefeller & Buffet Foundations is pro-BDS, anti-Nationalistic, pro-Globalist, super-duper-Progressive. Buffet & Rockefeller don't give to any other Jewish group, historical, artistic, or otherwise. Just this one.

Never heard of this group, but they have a 70-person office in Manhattan and LA.

Thanks for this! I forgot to add that the CEO of Bend the Arc herself was another Protester - in Portland - around 2000 as well.

Mell, I gotta dig into some twitter feeds to find it. I think it came from one of two people.

If Nietzsche is correct about Christianity also being the product of slave morality, that means that the Woke church must destroy its rival. You can’t have two religions occupying the same cognitive space. This is why the woke hate Christianity so much, and always attack it, despite Christianity being no threat to the woke church of no salvation – not that Christians are necessarily friendly towards wokeness, simply that the churches have been rendered politically toothless. If one wanted to be unkind, one could say that it is the narcissism of small differences, but this would be deeply unfair because the differences in their fruits are simply vast. Christianity may be a slave morality but it is slave morality redeemed, the simple proof of which is that its fruits must surely be judged to be largely good ones, to a greater degree than can be said about any other religion. Wokeness, being a nihilistic faith, does not even believe in redemption, for itself or anything else, and therefore has nothing whatsoever to redeem it.

Getting rid of nations, stable gender, the family, Western culture and (why not?) Christianity – the hallmarks of leftist “progress” and avant garde politicking – also advances global corporatist objectives, removing any remaining obstacles to global corporate dominance.

I am not a Christian, it is evil to get rid of any other religion except Islam. Religions have their value, I am an atheist. Author is a professor at NYU. Wonder what happens to him?
